Three-axis gantry ensures accurate positioning of studs for manufacturer of commercial kitchen equipment.

Weiss has optimized its HP 70 pick-and-place module for long strokes with short cycle times.

Linear actuators enable researchers to study how marine life affects undersea structures.

Cartesian gantry system feeds bolts, threaded bushings and support plates to injection molding machine.

For many applications, a SCARA or six-axis robot is overkill.

Manufacturers must consider many factors when deciding which equipment to invest in for fluid dispensing operations.

In basketball, the most flexible player is often the smallest person on the team. Small robots play a similar role in manufacturing.

Manufacturers in many industries have relied on MESH Automation Inc.’s machine engineering, design and installation services for nearly 20 years. During that time, MESH has completed more than 850 projects of all sizes related to robotic workcells, vision inspection and system integration.

To handle simple material handling tasks in automated workcells, engineers typically opt for linear axes. However, assembling multiple linear axes into a Cartesian motion system can be a time-consuming process. You must connect each module to the next one, assembling subcomponents as you go, then wire each module, connect each axis to an external controller, and finally program the system.
